WikiIndex is in the process of developing a set of explicit guidelines. Until then, the wiki admins will monitor the wiki and use their common sense to resolve issues. Where there is a dispute it will be resolved between the active admins on the site. (Or alternatively a vote amongst the active users.) | |||
Right now, we only have a couple of rules, which have arisen from direct experience: | |||
# Actual [[Spam_Control_Policy|commercial spam will be mercilessly deleted]]. Irrelevant content should be instead marked for deletion, to allow a review first. One man's "irrelevant" can be another's "interesting". | # Actual [[Spam_Control_Policy|commercial spam will be mercilessly deleted]].

A discussion of possible policies follows. See also [[WikiIndex_talk:Policies_and_Guidelines]]. For a more personal viewpoint, try [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_(unwritten)_policies]]. [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 03:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
==Content inclusion rules== | |||
'''The following are proposals''': | |||
# Articles can say anything as long as no-one contests it. | |||
# Articles should preferably stick to facts (e.g. "wiki X claims that Y on page Z"). | |||
The first was proposed on IRC by [[User:Lumenos]]; I think it is likely to cause trouble, hence my counter-proposal. [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 03:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
